Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶢ has the Unicode code point U+2DA2. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2DA2 to binary:
00101101 10100010. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10110110 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2DA2 is known as the Ethiopic Syllable SSI. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in representing the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, one of the major languages in Ethiopia. Amharic is an Afro-Asiatic language and serves as the official working language for the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. The U+2DA2 character helps to construct the various syllables that form words in the Ethiopic script. Each syllable is typically composed of a vowel followed by a consonant, and this combination contributes to the uniqueness and richness of the Ethiopic language. The U+2DA2 character is an essential component of digital text systems, enabling accurate communication and preservation of cultural identity for Ethiopian speakers worldwide.
